Eric Frankson: Sobriety Checkpoints Violate Our Rights
The gutting of the Fourth Amendment. Until 1990, sobriety checkpoints were illegal
in California and the United States. But a Supreme Court decision
overturned 200 years of protection from illegal search-and-seizure. The Supreme Court case Michigan Department of State Police vs. Sitz changed how we party and how we view the police. ... MORE

the summer, and reader reaction to the piece ranged from vehement
support of the checkpoints to questioning if they are Constitutional or
not. Here are a few comments generated from the issue. Feel free to chime ... MORE
Robert Taylor: Your TSA Pat Down Will Only Get Worse
TSA refuses to hold hearing on "naked body scanners." The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is once again in the news for refusing to obey a federal appeals court order from last year mandating that the agency hold public hearings over its "naked body scanners."

Christopher Elliott: Who Are The Real TSA Dissidents?
Liberty-lovers are losing their country. See the footage of Julio Rausseo, an activist and journalist, at Chicago's Union Station the day after the Fourth of July. Why is he so upset? Because there are TSA agents at the train station, and they're about to set up a screening area. This audio recording was taken a week later, after Rausseo posted the first ... MORE

Aaron Dykes: TSA: Filming Checkpoints Is "Terrorism"

Sarah Shurtleff: Do Checkpoints Make Us Safer?
"Your papers, please." The day after the checkpoint on U.S. 36, my daughter was driving alone through Idaho and was stopped by a state trooper who claimed he thought her tinted windows might not conform to Idaho's requirements. Is this a "lawful traffic contact for some identified violation?" Doesn't sound like it to me. Sounds like fishing. The ... MORE
Jim Holt: Results Lead To Questions On DUI Checkpoints
3,279 motorists detained, 3 drunk drivers arrested. Checkpoints set up to intercept drunken drivers are still worthwhile — despite only three impaired driving arrests made out of more than 3,600 motorists stopped during three recent checkpoints, local sheriff’s officials said Tuesday. Monthly since March, deputies with the Santa Clarita ... MORE

Cinco de Mayo is prime time for DUI checkpoints. For the first time in five years, Cinco de Mayo falls on a weekend.

Eric Peters: Here Comes Santa's Last Run
Right down Nanny State Lane. Santa's been running late because of all the speed traps and sobriety checks out there. Not to mention the endless meetings with his legal team to make sure the factory's in compliance with the latest workplace safety rules -- and the elves happy with the terms of their latest contract. Thank God the sleigh doesn't have to have a catalytic ... MORE
